I tried use uwsgi\_params, but the uwsgi server will fail to pass it.

The directive is

uwsgi\_param KEY VALUE;

You have to put them under a location stanza:

location / {  
include uwsgi\_params;  
uwsgi\_param FOO bar;  
uwsgi\_param fookey fooval;  
uwsgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:3031;  
}

They will be blindly put in your app request dictionary.

I have tried this. The uwsgi server gives an error

INVALID PROTOCOL:  
[pid: 32149|app: 0|req: -1/1] () {22 vars in 803 bytes} [Wed Aug 17  
00:54:50 2011] =\> generated 45 bytes in 0 msecs ( 500) 2 headers in 63  
bytes (0 switches on core 0)

My uwsgi is a django app, the command line looks like this

uwsgi --uid 1000 -H /mnt/python -s :8000 --wsgi-file  
path/wsgi\_handler.py

Without uwsgi\_param, this works perfectly.

## You should post your current nginx config, otherwise it will be very hard to help you 🙂
